Developer Consultant Services for Affordable Housing

The Boulder County Housing Authority (BCHA) is seeking to engage an experienced Development Consultant through a competitive RFP process to support the planning, structuring, financing, and implementation of affordable housing projects within its pipeline, which may include both rental and homeownership opportunities. The selected consultant will provide ongoing advisory services on an as-needed basis, with compensation structured either through a fixed monthly retainer or a negotiated percentage of the project developer fee upon project closing. This arrangement is designed to ensure consistent expert guidance while aligning the consultant’s incentives with successful project completion. The contract will be governed by a standard services template that details scope of work, insurance, invoicing, and amendments, and work will be assigned via task orders. The procurement process emphasizes thorough evaluation criteria, including the firm’s understanding of the project, experience and capacity, and cost proposal, with a scoring system to guide selection. Bidders are encouraged to submit proposals that clearly demonstrate their expertise, project approach, and cost efficiency. The process also involves completing vendor information and sustainability questionnaires to ensure vendors meet environmental and operational standards. The contract size is estimated between 500,000 and 2,000,000 dollars, reflecting the scope and scale of potential projects. Overall, this initiative aims to strengthen Boulder County’s efforts to develop affordable housing solutions through strategic partnerships with qualified development consultants.
